About Wheelmap.org
The Wheelmap Android App is the mobile app for Wheelmap.org, an open, free and global online map for wheelchair-accessible places provided by Sozialhelden e.V.
With the Wheelmap Android app users can find and mark accessible and less accessible public places on a virtual map.
With the provided information mobility-impaired people can easily find out which underground stations, restaurants, cafes or clubs around them are accessible and which are not. This increases their mobility and participation in society, creating more public awareness for their needs and rights.
Everyone can get engaged and help by marking the wheelchair accessibility of public places with the easy traffic light system.
Green = Fully wheelchair-accessible
Yellow = Limited accessibility
Red = Not wheelchair-accessible
Places that are not yet marked have a grey tag and can be quickly and easily marked by everyone.
Wheelmap is based on OpenStreetMap and works similar to Wikipedia - everyone can contribute to improving the accumulated data. The app draws its information directly from the net. All data is always up to date.
Note:
- To search for places and to mark the accessibility status of an existing place, no registration is required.
Wheelmap was developed by the non-profit organisation Sozialhelden e.V.. It's Sozialhelden's aim to address social challenges with innovative approaches.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
We updated the app so it works with the newest version of Tango Core. This means that the Augmented Reality feature works again. If you have a "Google Tango"-enabled device you can use it to take measurements at the places you visit (door width, step height, slope of ramps and clear floor space in restrooms).

Great app to find accesdible places and bathroom stalls!

Very simple "traffic light" classification system (good, so-so, avoid) and it's easy to upload images and add/edit comments. I find adding new locations is difficult, so is more easily done at home later via Openstreetmap for location accuracy, and if I have no postal address details available. I also add photos via an older version on another Android phone.

Very useful app, works fine, however it's a shame only 2 languages are available. When can we expect Spanish, french and Portuguese...?

Watching Herr Krauthausen on ARD this evening, I was SO impressed with the work his organization is doing to assist those with handicaps with the goal to reach the whole world for this project! What a great idea to engage everyone through this app toward that effort. As an American Diplomat, I will take this to all of the many places I travel to and also inform the local Embassy staff to download this app as well. Awesome work and keep on keeping on for your wonderful cause! Cheers!

It is impossible to do the latest update because it is 'incorrectly signed'...

This is a really good idea but the major flaws are: *It only allows you to search for facilities within a narrow radius of your current location. It's better if you can check a place for access before you start your journey! *No obvious way to make notes about un-checked facilities and upload them to the main website. *Main website is in german only so if there are any 'help' screens available I can't find them! Once this app has been upgraded it will be fantasic but needs more work.

Does Wheelmap perhaps need to resize and compress images before uploading them, and to upload them as a background task?
